Underpowered Merz

[cheeft]

I know not a lot of people accept this... But the easiest way is to change engine... I'm driving a W124 with a Toyota 1JZ engine... My car weight more than 1800kg and I can easily smoke any joker that tries to tailgate me... Not telling you that this is the way to go but for me this is the way... Much more power plus I retain the smoothness of the inline six engine... Win win situation for me but maybe not those who wants pedigree... If you're trying to mod the original engine, my suggestion is to just forget about it...

I'm no merc expert but since the 2.3l kompressor came from the same family rite? the "E230 Kompressor" model. from spec it look healthy @ 197 PS (145 kW; 194 hp) and 280 N·m (207 lb·ft ( found here ) and since came within the same family should be PnP... :hmmmm:

Although it's performance is not as high as the venerable 2JZ-GTE (even 1JZ-GTE), but 280 N·m sounds about right... my 2 sen la

Forgive my geekiness

transplant to 230 kompressor is really nice.
as it still retain the originality.
but the halfcut price is the one that never been nice.

As bro cheeft pointed out, if want pedigree la...

or... you can get the 1JZ/2JZ as per bro cheeft oso... stock standard already powerful to match with its weight

as it still retain the originality.
but the halfcut price is the one that never been nice.

Indeeds..
before u need to do more further and do sumthing to ur "BABY",spend sometimes digging in and getting more info.before u make ur final decision,as u make wrong move u will b "Re-gret"..

Thanks very much for all your suggestions & opinions by you guys out there!
Actually im not into the "heavy" stuff of changing engine etc....
What i think i might do is...

1) Modify the exhaust system ie extractor etc

2) Install the CYCLONE TURBINE in the air intake system

3) Also considering installing the SURBO KIT

4) Reduce the width of my current tyres from 225/55/16 to 205/60/16

5) Fix the two headed spark plugs?

6) Fixing the hi performance plug cables

7) Mixture of 30% Ron97 with 70% Ron 95 Fuel (Am now on 100% Ron95)

Hope all you guys out there can guide me on the 7 items i intend to do...or add more such suggestions....

Actually im budget tight.......

Saving to buy the Hybrid Version of the new Camry in a year or two perhaps?

This is poor mans way of calculations pls DONT LAUGH !!!

Do whatever your budget permits but please stay away from wasting your money on gimmick like surbo
or cyclone kit that you mention... Is all bullshit...

Better spend the money elsewhere. These stuff dont work.
Use the money for your car spa. At least the car looks nicer and cleaner....

bro,

LesleyAprotto (thread starter) wanted low cost power upgrade.....just in case you have missunderstood his intention/budget...

 

[D7zul]

If he do what he listed i'm guessing the power increase is 5-10%

If he turbocharge or supercharge his engine, he can gain 30-50%

Money vs power, force induction is better

Something to think about

 

[kimster]
